Around 3 a.m. Wednesday, officers with the Los Angeles Police Department spotted masked men leaving the Equvalence sports collectible store and as the suspects ran, they dropped money all over the street.
Not only did the suspects leave behind a trail of cash, but they also left shattered glass behind them at the store.
Officers attempted to stop them, but the crew of at least six jumped into three getaway vehicles, described as two Camaros and a Corvette.
Officers initiated a pursuit but eventually lost the suspects on the 101 Freeway.
The owners said it’s been challenging for small business owners to stay afloat amid the crime wave.
Investigators said this is officially the third time the store has been burglarized.
